Applica tion lled February ilngso a'S tor be przillel with the 'furtlierljobj eet.A ofy rnv I invention is to provide an.':i,iitonQl J|i1e :shade having ineens whereby-it ispi'gi'dly'. held, .thereby prevent in'g`the shade'fronijiuppinj.

A further 'object of my invention is. to provide efdevicie-of' theftype described which is siiiiple 1n construction :1nd operation. hns few moving parts and is not likely to easily get out of order.

Other objects and advantages will nppezin in the following specification. and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Bly invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this ai plieation, in which Figure 1 is :i side elevation of the device :is shown attached to thc wind-shicld of un nutoniobile,

From the foregoing description. Vofrihe,

it can be unrol'led by merely grasping thel thumbsscrew 22 -and pulling' downwardly; until thefshade is at theI desired 'lengthi so.`as`

to intercept* thesunsraysl that would' ordi:

As previously stated, the shadefis prejY vented from flapping because itl is securely fastened". to the rigid"l frame `19.-

The device is Vvery simple in'I construction Cagn be@ maniiffljtuidaii" and operation, an a low cost. `When in inoperatvefpos'itibn', the device is hidden fromview ianddoes'nc'ut impair the appearance of' the vehicle to" which applied.
